Alankrita started school yesterday - and went all by herself by bus. The first hour was anxious, expectedly, especially for her. But then (reportedly) she settled down well and "played in the sandpit" and danced to rhymes and painted, and had "cherry bread" and a banana (?)

She did seem rather proud of boarding the much awaited yellow bus this morning, so I guess one can believe most of the above :)

[ This also means rushed mornings, and a little more free time post 7:40am ]
